Now that Gao Yan is back, he naturally takes over the task of grilling the meat.

Meanwhile, Yin Yutong recounted the major events that had occurred in the Nine Saints Sect during the years he had been away.

In the first year after his departure, a sword prodigy named Si Yun came to the Nine Saints Sect and specifically challenged Xiahou Jian.

At first, everyone had a lot of confidence in Xiahou Jian because he had already reached the second level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Si Yun defeated many holy sons and daughters from other sects, he was only at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

But the result of this battle surprised everyone.

Xiahou Jian was severely injured after only a quarter of an hour of fighting with his opponent. If it weren't for the Dao Integration expert from the Xiahou family coming out to rescue him, he would probably have died under Siyun Sword.

"Who is this Si Yun, that he is so arrogant?" Gao Yan asked curiously. A Nascent Soul Ninth Level cultivator severely injured a Divine Transformation Second Level cultivator in half an hour. Could this Si Yun be the protagonist?

It should be noted that in the cultivation world, powerful forces are very concerned about their reputation. The other party went to the Nine Saints Sect and severely injured and almost killed the strongest saint son.

He simply refused to believe that the Nine Saints Sect would remain indifferent.

Seeing that Gao Yan was interested in this matter, Yin Yutong quickly said, "This Si Yun is no ordinary person. He is the only Holy Son of the Tai'a Holy Land in the Western Wilderness."

This person has an extremely domineering personality. Originally, there were nine holy sons and daughters in the Tai'a Holy Land. However, after he became a holy son, he bluntly stated that the other eight were unworthy to be his companions, and directly attacked and severely injured them, forcing them to relinquish their positions as holy sons and daughters!

"Wow, this is too domineering! Don't the higher-ups of the Tai'a Holy Land care?" Gao Yan said with some surprise. Putting aside their talent and aptitude to become Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, they must have powerful backgrounds.

Take the holy sons and daughters of the Nine Saints Sect for example. Xiahou Jian and Xiahou Meng are siblings from the Xiahou family, and Nangong Yao also has the Nangong family backing her up.

If Xiahou Jian forces others to give up their positions as Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, will their families stop?

Definitely not!

Yin Yutong said, "If someone else did this, it would definitely not be allowed, but the higher-ups of the Tai'a Holy Land will tolerate Si Yun doing this because he has mastered one of the three great sword manuals of the Tai'a Holy Land, the Tai'a Sword Manual. It is said that this sword manual was created by the founding immortal ancestor of the Tai'a Holy Land and left a message saying that whoever can master the Tai'a Sword Manual will have the potential to become an immortal. Therefore, Si Yun is a recognized immortal seed in the Western Wilderness. Before he came to the Eastern Wilderness, he had already tortured the Buddhist disciples and divine disciples and goddesses of the other two great holy lands in the Eastern Wilderness."

After he came to our Eastern Wilderness, he successively selected several holy sons and daughters. When some sects sent experts to assassinate them, they discovered that he actually had two Dao Integration experts protecting him.

It's said he intends to challenge all the young geniuses of the entire Azure Sky World; the Eastern Wilderness is merely his second stop. Now he's gone to the Southern Frontier, ready to crush the geniuses there as well!

Upon hearing this, Gao Yan thought to himself, even if this guy isn't the protagonist, he's probably the chosen one of this world.

However, this has little to do with him.

After all, he had no intention of competing with the chosen one and the protagonist.

He only needs to diligently cultivate to the level of a Great Emperor and obtain a lifespan of 500,000 years.

As for why he was so certain that he could reach the level of an emperor.

That's easy, he's a man with cheat codes.

Composing himself, he asked in a high voice, "Has Holy Son Xiahou not been affected?"

“At first he was!” Yin Yutong said, “Later he heard that the holy sons and daughters of other sects had all been defeated by Si Yun’s sword, and he felt relieved. Especially the strongest holy son of Xuanming Sect, who had reached the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, only lasted a little longer than the Holy Son Xiahou.”

Suddenly, Yin Yutong changed the subject: "By the way, two major events have happened in our sect. In the second year after you left, Saintess Nangong broke through to the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Just eight months later, Saintess Xiahou also broke through to the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm. Junior brother, the breakthroughs of the two saintesses should be related to you, right?"

Why would you ask that, senior sister?

Gao Yan asked with a smile, and as he spoke, he brushed a layer of oil onto the grilled meat.

"Because both Saintesses sent you invitations to their ascension banquets, and they also gave you a generous gift. Here, this is from the two Saintesses!"

Yin Yutong handed two storage rings to Gao Yan.

"Thank you very much, Senior Sister!"

"You're welcome. I was just keeping it for you for a while!"

Yin Yutong waved her hand dismissively: "By the way, junior brother, both Holy Maidens asked me to tell you that they hope to meet you when you return!"

"Really? Then I'll go see them tomorrow!" Gao Yan said. He did indeed go see them. The system broadcasted two announcements when he received the two rings.

Despite their animosity, the two holy maidens were quite in sync when it came to gift-giving, each giving him one hundred million spirit stones.

He gained nothing from staying in Phoenix City for the past three years.

They only earned tens of millions of spirit stones.

The meager gains were less than the gifts from the two saintesses.

Currently, his earnings are valued at 1.303 billion.

It will take approximately 200 million more to upgrade.

After a while.

The barbecue is ready.

The two sat down at the table and continued chatting while eating and drinking.

"Senior sister, is our master still in seclusion?"

Yin Yutong nodded: "Master is breaking through to the Void Realm. It's not that easy. It wouldn't be unusual for him to go into seclusion for thirty or fifty years!"

"Oh, I see. Have any of our senior brothers and sisters who went out come back?"

Gao Yan asked again.

"No!"

Yin Yutong shook her head, then revealed an envious look: "They've all gone to Zhongzhou to explore together. I heard that Zhongzhou not only has many geniuses, but also many opportunities. I guess the senior brothers and sisters also want to go there to try their luck!"
